Seymourpowell Aircruise - Future of air travel
Loading...
Uploaded by CanisLupusSeeUs on Feb 5, 2010
The idea behind the Seymourpowell Aircruise Concept is that it will be a floating luxury hotel that is over 800 feet tall and will float like a large balloon over cityscapes or dramatic landscapes like the watching of the migration of the wildebeests in Kenya. An ocean trip from New York to London would take 37 hours.
The Seymourpowell Aircruise would accept up to 100 guests, and 10 luxury apartments would be up for grabs. The Seymourpowell Aircruise will above all be safe. Hydrogen gas will provide the lift. The airship will also be powered by solar energy plus several hydrogen fuel cells which will provide not only the motivation but also safe drinking water for the customers.
This serene type of air travel will include large spaces within the craft for dining, lounging and a bar for entertainment. The crew at Seymourpowell anticipate that the Aircruise hotel could be ready as early as 2015 if the project is a go. This may be a bit pie-in-the-sky as far as how future hydrogen travel may go. Then again, perhaps the sky is the limit and we are only limited by our current imaginations.

Umm...hydrogen? You know, another famous air ship back in the thirties used hydrogen. What was its name? Ah, that's right: Hindenburg! Seriously, nobody's gonna jump for this. I'll bet not even the North Koreans would be crazy enough to try this.

Beautiful vision of the future

@kokopelli314 It is. Seems like a far more dignified and natural way of travelling, rather than being crammed into a jet.

I'd be interested to know how it copes with strong winds. Also, I'd like to see it developed for the common traveler, rather than being pitched at the wealthy. This might happen if it is mass produced with economies of scale.
